Towering pines, brilliant white-sand bunkers and those trademark Pete Dye railroad tie-framed bunkers - welcome to Carolina golf, Vegas-style, at Desert Pines Golf Club.

The narrow fairways and huge, high-lipped bunkers provide the challenge on this Dye Designs layout, Bill Bowman writes.

Tucked into the southwest corner of Vegas is one of Ted Robinson's most stunning designs: Rhodes Ranch Golf Club. Now it's easy to call a layout one of the best, but when an architect with 50-plus years in the business and more than 150 courses to his name is as proud of the course as Robinson is, it's got to be something special.

For years, TPC Las Vegas was in the rotation of courses when the PGA Tour came to Vegas, and more than a handful of PGA Tour pros still call the course home and can regularly be seen on the practice tee honing their skills. Designed by Bobby Weed with consultation from Raymond Floyd, it is a par-71 roller coaster that plays to 7,080 yards over and around canyons in the northwest section of Vegas.

Unquestionably one of the Las Vegas area's most coveted rounds, Bear's Best Las Vegas replicates 18 of the legendary golfer and designer's best holes from around the world.

After the first hole at the Revere Golf Club's Lexington Course, you'll probably wish you had a panoramic camera, Mike Bailey writes. For as far as the eye can see, there are the Black Mountains, providing the backdrop not only to the course but Las Vegas and the Strip as well.

Reno Golf Course Reviews

You thought the boys in Las Vegas held a stranglehold on showy, over-the-top golf courses? ArrowCreek Country Club is Reno's rebuttal. This wicked two-course complex in the place self-dubbed "The Biggest Little City in The World" is part of a largely underrated Sierra golf scene that includes Reno, Lake Tahoe and tons of wonderfully little towns along the mountain way.

Mesquite Golf Course Reviews

Wolf Creek Golf Club in Mesquite, Nev. is the kind of course you travel for, make a special side trip to play. It's that uniquely memorable. And plain cool. There is just something about teeing off from a sky high plateau and watching your ball soar through the air down to the fairway. Everyone loves to see their ball fly. You'll likely never see it fly quite like it does at Wolf Creek. It's enough to make the most jaded golfer giggle. At least inside.

Genoa Lakes is both typical and unique. Its housing approach can be found on a 100 other courses easy. Yet its setting is still special enough that there are dashes of magic left. Like a deer cutting you off in traffic. Or the moos of the neighbor cows serving as background noise to a putt.

Dayton Valley Golf Club in Dayton, Nev. is a great change-of-pace High Sierras golf course. Its look are very distinctive for the area and it is greener than you'd expect given how fiercely the sun seems to beat down in the valley. One of the mid-priced courses in the area, Dayton Valley provides old-school strategy rather than eye-popping wows.

It sounds sacrilegious to put the modestly named Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course above Pebble Beach. You half expected a golf god to shoot down lightning bolts from the clear blue morning sky. Or at least find Pebble Beach owner Clint Eastwood in your face, sticking a finger in your chest, puffing, "Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?" It turns out those words get spoken often on this George Fazio design that's almost right behind the hulking casinos on Lake Tahoe Boulevard and yet still plays out as a nature wonderland seldom seen in today's house-happy golf world.

Everyone at the Desert Course at Primm Valley wants to tell you how forgiving this Tom Fazio course is. Visions of wide fairways and balls easily located in sparse desert brush dance in your head. By the first tee, you’re convinced a leisurely round awaits (the staff here is very friendly and persuasive, after all). By the second tee, though, the game's up and it's quickly apparent this course has long, nasty, score mashing teeth.

Primm Valley Golf Club is Vegas showmanship at its finest, carried out where you'd least expect. The pairing of high-end golf designer Tom Fazio and a Primm Valley casino complex that's more Tupelo, Miss., than Vegas might seem like a strange one, but there is little question Fazio is capable of wowing any client base. Still, with that said, while the Lakes is a good course by many standards, it’s not one of Fazio's better efforts.

Wingfield Springs can make a claim at helping create the new and improved atmosphere in Sparks. Part of a master planned community, the nearly decade-old development is comprised of two dozen communities along with a host of commercial and recreational options. But the cornerstone of the development is The Resort at Red Hawk: 36 holes and upscale accommodations that steer clear of any "Vegas" characteristics.
